Y Es Así

Kalimba's song 'Y Es Así' is a poignant ballad that delves into the feelings of longing and heartache after a breakup. The lyrics express the difficulty of moving on from a relationship that has ended, despite the understanding that life is simpler without the emotional turmoil that comes with holding on. The song's title, which translates to 'And It Is So,' reflects a sense of resignation to the reality of the situation.

The verses of 'Y Es Así' are filled with metaphors that convey the depth of the singer's emotions. Phrases like 'Palabras que me desnudan' (Words that undress me) and 'Soy un velero en el mar del pasado' (I am a sailboat in the sea of the past) illustrate the vulnerability and the feeling of being adrift without the loved one. The recurring lines in the chorus, 'Y no puedo dejarte de amar' (And I can't stop loving you), emphasize the ongoing struggle to let go of the love that still lingers.

The collaboration with Reik, another popular Latin music group known for their romantic ballads, adds a layer of harmony and depth to the song. The interplay between Kalimba's and Reik's vocals underscores the universal nature of the song's themes—love, loss, and the hope of reconnection. The song resonates with anyone who has experienced the bittersweet process of trying to move forward while still being anchored to the memories of a past love.
